Tadashi Monono

Tadashi loses his entire family to the Illumidas invasion and has virtually no money for food. He decides to kill Harlock for the sizable bounty on his head, but Harlock wins their duel, spares Tadashi and invites him aboard the Arcadia. Tadashi's criticism of Tochiro's cooking earns him the ship's cook position; he later learns to pilot a Spacewolf and proves himself a valuable member of the crew.
